Greetings World Wide Web. Well, I have been getting things prepared for the last few months and all that preparation is coming together on Monday. Monday is the first day of school. I am looking forward to spending some time getting to know the students that have signed up for something for which they had little understanding.
I am confident as we begin the year that students will enjoy the class. We will spend time working through design challenges, learning and exploring the Design Thinking process and then begin changing the world (excuse the cliche).
I believe the students will build their creative confidence and I anticipate the results of their collaborative work will be astounding.
I want to thank the folks at the Institute of Design at Stanford. Their resources have been very helpful.
I also want to thank my contact at IDEO for pointing me in the right direction.
And finally, I want to thank Ewan McIntosh for his personal assistance in framing this class.
Check back soon. The students will begin to weigh in with their thoughts and reflections in just a few days.
